WOODROW WILSON STILL
LEADS FOR PRESIDENCY
United States Senate Safely Democratic, While house
of Representatives Is In Doubt.
CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA
WILL PLAY LEADING PARTS.
So Far as Assured Electoral Votes
Go, Willson and Hughes are on
Even Terms.
New York, November 9.-The Trib
une and Sun, which supported Mr.
Hughes, gives him 252 votes in the
electoral college and gives President
Wilson 251. They regard Californios
Minnesota and New Mexico as the
only doubtful states.
Th_g &bove dispatch, coming from
a Republican source, is the best infoi
mation The News is able to get. A
phone from the Atlanta Constitution
at 11 o'clock this morning was to the
effect that Wilscn would have to car
ry either California or Minnesota to
win. The President was running
ahead in both states according to the
last report.
This is the closest presidential
race in the history of tile nation it
would seem from the reports at hand
Both chairmen of the two parties
date, and the country will have to
claim the election for their candidate
and the country will have to await
■'he official count .jefore we know
who is to serve us the next foui
years as President of the United
States.
Later.—The editor of the Atlanta
Georgian, answering an inquiry at
1 o'clock today gfive Wilson 256
electoral votes and Hughes 248 with
three states to hear from. One of
t ese states is California and Wil
son is leading by a smi 11 majority
Cjlifornija's 13 votes would give Wil
son 269, just three more than enough
to elect.
HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
A six-room dwelling close in, first
class shape, sewerage and all mod
ern conveniences, on one of best
streets in the city. $500.00 cash and
as long as you want on balance
at 8 per cent.
This is positively one of the best
bargains we have had to offer in
some time. Better see it at once.

BARROW COUNTY
LARGELY DEMOCRATIC.
Republican and Pro
gresssive Mixture Roll Up TWo
Hundred and Fifty-Two Vo'tis.
Barrow County stands for Demo
cracy jn the first Presidential elect
ion held in the county.
The consolidated returns shows
that the Wilson electors received 712
votes, while the straight-out Republi
cans polled 162, and the Progressive
or Watson Wing polled 102.
There were about 930 votes cast in
the county, all nominees receiving a
f w scratches irom the “fr e and un
trammeled el ctorate. M. L. Brittian
seemed to ccme in for the displeas
ure of more of the disgruntled thaa
anyone else. . But all of them, from
President Wilson down to the Coro
ner of Barrow, came in for scratches.
And this reminds us of a funny in
cident tl.at occurred here Tuesday
in the Winder precinct. A prosper
ous, pompous Winder citizen, reputed
to have made more money this year
than he has in fifteen of the years
w one by, walked up in front of the
dignified managers and with his tick
et held so that they might see,
sc atch and Woodrow Wilson and hand
ed the Democratic ticket in. The
managers smiled, knowing that he
was. doing just what he wanted to
impress the managers that he was
not doing, voting for Woodrow Wil
son, for he left all the Wilson elec
tros unscratched.
Young Matrons En'teretained.
Mrs. H. A. Carithers gave a pretty
five-hundred party to The Young Ma
trons on last Thursday afternoon
from four to six. The reception
rooms consisting of the parlor and
drawing room were thrown comfort
ably together and were unusually at
i tractive in appearance. A number of
plants were scattered, carelessly but
tastefully, through the rooms. Sev
eral cut-gass vases containing huge
pink and white chrysanthemums mix
ed with ferns, stood on mantles and
j pedestals. The nicely arranged tables
for five-hundred held dainty cour
tette dishes of salted nuts. At six
a sandwich luncheon with hot tea
was served. Mrs. Carithers was as
sisted in entertaining by her moth
er, Mrs. W. L. Blasingame and sis
ter, Miss Robbie Blasingame.
The guests were Mesdames Harry
Kilpatrick and James Goldsmith of
Atlanta, Herschel Smith, G. C. Mose
ly, J. J. Wilson, W. D. McKenney,
Walter Cooper, Rheba Vonderleith,
Bush Jackson, Robert Arnold, P. A.
